NEWSLETTER 4 is now with subscribers. If you haven't already renewed or subscribed - now is the time to do it! Lots of news and information about your favourite Swarovski products. 12 full colour glossy pages of photos and information.

ANOTHER GREAT ADDITION TO OUR SERVICE:

PRICE LIST - We will shortly be adding to this page, a downloadable price list. Because our stock changes on a daily basis, you will need to check our website for availability. Due to the high cost of printing and the size of the insurance guide and the price list, we are unable to provide paper copies of these documents.

SIGNED PIECES - If you are looking for signed Swarovski pieces, please let us know via our express an interest facility as we now have access to a wide range of signed pieces, including annual editions, so do please let us know the signed pieces you are searching for.

TINKERBELL
The price continues to go through the roof, and we have therefore taken the decision to only handle this item as an "express an interest" item. There are too many speculative sellers out there, and we feel the prices being asked are above what the correct market level should be. We don't actually believe these sellers are achieving sales at those levels, and so we refuse to play their game until their selling prices become more realistic.

General News.
Our new office hours of Monday to Friday 10am to 4pm seem to be working well for everyone concerned. We break for lunch at some point between 12pm and 1pm, for around half an hour - but timing varies!

A new range of wooden stands are available in our display section! They look absolutely super.

Unfortunately we have been unable to organise more supplies of the glass marguerite stands, flowers, bamboo and ornament stands. We still have some heart stands in triple and single format available, but it is unlikely we will be able to supply any of these items again as the people who make them had very specialist skills and they have retired and not been replaced.

Good news is that we have found a supplier for Christmas ornament stands and a range of other display material. We hope to have this in store within the next 6 to 8 weeks.

A range of glass podiums/podia will also on line, it is hoped they will be uploaded at some point during week commencing 15th March. We will take the orders for those, but they will be despatched direct from the manufacturer. All other items will be sent direct from us.

We don’t charge a fee for the use of credit or debit cards, nor are there any additional charges for shipping to UK destinations – so what you see is what you pay. No nasty surprises.

For European and international destinations we charge a simple flat fee of £7 to Europe, £10 to USA, so again, you don’t have to wait until you have finished shopping to find out how much shipping will be.
